    Drive enclosure recommendations?

    Anyone have drive enclosure recommendations? I'm just looking for an easy way to plug old Sata drives into USB to copy stuff off now and then. Just looking for cheap easy and dependable. Bells and whistles not very important.

      I just picked up on this model a couple of weeks ago and It’s working great for me.
      I can plug is into my desktop with the supplied sata cable or take the drive with me and use it on any other machine with the usb2 cable. I had a 250Gb drive in it but I replaced it with a small 40Gb, partitioned and formatted to fat32 so almost any machine I plug it into will read the drive. The foot that comes with it is kinda cheesy so I glued some small rubber feet on the side and that works much better. No chance of it tipping over.
      They tried to Assimilate me and failed!

              Cool!
              That USB&SATA bus feature really comes in handy.
